"If you have the time to volunteer, or set aside some time, there are so many different areas where you can make a difference in someone's life. A friendly voic...e and a warm smile goes a long way in a lonely person's life. There are many ways to volunteer, choose one that is suitable for you, one which brings joy to your heart and fills a void for someone else." Cleo is a volunteer at Lake Country Health and the Lake Country Seniors Housing Society. She was born in Trinidad, pursued her Nursing Career in the UK, immigrated to Canada in 1984, and has been in the Okanagan since 1990. Thank you Cleo for your incredible commitment to our community!

This is the last week to enter the CanAge and HelpAge Canada content that runs through until Jan 1! canage.ca/holidaycheer.

We received a wonderful Christmas present - a new logo and a new website to go with a new year. We are excited about all the changes coming up and we look forward to continuing to serve our community through advocacy, education and support for years to come. Our new website is www.lakecountryhealth.ca - make sure you bookmark it because the old site will be decommissioned by the end of the year.

No one wants to spend the holidays alone. Even though COVID-19 has changed the way we stay connected, social distancing doesn’t have to mean social isolation!
